New Lock Screen
One of the most unique facets found on Windows Phone 8 is the new lockscreen, which is now powered by live apps. What does that mean? Well, you’ll be able to receive a number of notifications and other special goodies without having to unlock the screen. For instance, Microsoft has now partnered with Facebook to work on an updated version of its mobile app, providing the option to view FB photos straight from the lockscreen. Picture grabbing sports scores and other relevant information by just waking the handset from sleep mode.
